Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment of Rare Plants

Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment of Rare Plants in California is a Department of Fish and Game project
that began in 2011 to provide information or rare plant vulnerability to climate change. Project funding and oversight
came from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and CA Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC).

by USFS), and Sam Veloz of Point Reyes Bird Observatory and Healey Hamilton of the Cal Academy of Sciences,
and Frank Davis of UC Santa Barbara (funded by NSF). See also
